SPRINGFIELD -- A 29-year-old man has been arrested on charges that accuse him
of planning to bomb the federal courthouse in Springfield and kill employees
there.

Authorities say Michael Finton, also known as Talib Islam was taken into custody by federal agents Thursday
on charges of planning to use a vehicle bomb to attack the Paul Findley Federal
Office Building and Courthouse.

Federal officials say the case had nothing to do with the major terrorism
investigation under way in Colorado and New York.

Same jihad, different cell.
